"While Discovery had an amicable relationship with our existing service, we decided to explore alternative benefits service partners to see if we would benefit from a change," said John Rose, Discovery's Director of U.S. Benefits, in a release. "We decided to pursue the relationship with Empyrean based on the compelling information they provided and the convincing presentations made by their staff, which demonstrated a thorough understanding of the industry, best practices and service efficiencies."
"Discovery is another example of a major trend in the market," said Doug Hogenmiller, Empyrean SVP of Business Development.
